Good Times and Bad Times for Retail Trade Markets in Illinois Towns: An Evaluation of Reilly's Law.

Crihfield, John B.

Small Town, v21 n4 p25-28 Jan-Feb 1991

Community planners in Illinois use computer software to conduct retail trade market analyses based on Reilly's Law. Market boundaries are determined using the population of the town and neighboring town, and the distance between the two towns. The simple indices implied by Reilly's Law do not offer reliable guidance to planners. (KS)
